Stake Pool Setup

Staking & Delegation Setup a Stake Pool
1

Hi,

I think I maybe posted this in the wrong spot originally. Sorry about that.

My name is Will. I’m new here, and i’m going through as much documentation as I can to get a stake pool up and running. I have my EC2 instance set up and working good to go. I got all the way through to build the cardano node. I’m using this course and i’ve come to this part.
https://cardano-foundation.gitbook.io/stake-pool-course/stake-pool-guide/getting-started/getconfigfiles_and_connect

It says that the course will use testnet and not mainnet. I’m not sure what to do from here. I want to create a stake pool and start promoting it asap. Can I continue through this course as it is? If not, is there some other reference I can use to create my stake pool? Any help and guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

Will

Would it be as simple as changing these references when i wget to mainnet instead of testnet?
Is there anything else in the course that would be affected by this? I really appreciate the help. THANK YOU!

Hello,

Yes, for mainnet you will need the 3 files for mainet… just download them, restart the nodes and you are in mainnet

Right on. I appreciate the answer. I’ll proceed with the guide, and use the mainnet files.
